Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Nitnerolf trebor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jari Korpela (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Jari Korpela is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between James Ardonia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tony Rerbeto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rerbeto has chosen Blink 182-Stay Together For The Kids as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ignas Bozicko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thaddius Brrapington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Luckily Ignas Bozicko seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between James Bond (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Hughes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
